LONDON (ICIS)--Chemical companies in Poland could each benefit from several hundreds of millions of euro in financing from the state's newly created Polish Investments Programme, Poland's treasury ministry said on Wednesday.

Chemical group Zaklady Azoty Tarnow (ZAT) and major synthetic rubber producer Synthos have already expressed interest in securing loans from the programme, said the ministry, which is running the initiative.

Attractive financing, possibly combining the resources of the state with those of private entities, and state guarantees on private lending would be available from the Polish Investments Programme, created at a time when Poland is struggling with a downturn in growth, it added.
